The Bluebird Returns...

I've been thinking about what to write for my next blog after having been away a short while. I found the answer to that question while reading one of Nigel's post of the 16th July 2007.

Oh, all right, I'm happy sometimes as well ... !

In response to this post I have this to say:

What the furrrrrrrrrr.... flappin feathers have I flown into here? The Bluebird has been away a little while and upon his return he finds.... a poem about him as the Bluebird of Happiness.

I'm.... I'm.... I'm quackless! It's an honour Nige that you should write such inspirational poetry about the Bluebird!

Oh, but I'm not metaphorical bird, I'm a real bird. This is the standard flag I fly by... to be a living testimony of happiness in all that I do. Wherever I fly, regardless of whether I be a doomsayer or a message of hope, the underlying energies within are the fabric of my happiness.

Ok, I know it's not really about Phil-losophical Bird, but still it's an honour that you should represent this happiness by the colour of his feathers.

I love your poem because you have it precisely right in that this happiness is found in the small and almost unnoticeable moments of life. By being still within in those moments we can experience that happiness when we see the colours of an autumn field or hear a baby's laugh, or watch the antics of a silly but playful pet. And if we are still enough, we can even see the Bluebird in the darkest of moments.

I should say though that to learn about Framework Agreements and Peter Gershan at the same time as to learn of a beautiful poem about the Bluebird of Happiness sort of lends new meaning to:

‘Happiness weaves before us a dream

And is seldom ever what it seems’.

I’ve been away from 360 a short while but it seems too long and I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of blogging again. Thanks again Nige for being so inspiring! As an eternal bird, I recall in a previous life of yours you wrote of this Bluebird so its really nice to see him fly again... for me this is one of those small moments of happiness.
